Carlin Hagmaier's double scored Annie Tarte in the eighth inning to lead Yale to a thrilling 3-2 victory over Western Michigan in Clearwater, Fla.

Camille Weisenbach went 2-for-3 with a run scored for the Bulldogs, who notched their first win of the season.

Western Michigan (11-11) scored first in the third inning, but Yale answered with two in the fifth. Shelby Kennedy plated the first run with an RBI ground out, and Weisenbach scored the go-ahead run on an error.

Western Michigan, though, tied it with a run in the bottom of the seventh, forcing extra innings.
